My Eyes Adored You

My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you,

My eyes adored you

Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see

How I adored you

So close, so close and yet so far

Carried your books from school,

Playing make-believe you're married to me

You were fifth grade, I was sixth

When we came to be

Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay,

Till we grew into the me and you

Who went our separate ways

My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you,

My eyes adored you

Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see

How I adored you:

So close, so close and yet so far

Headed for city lights,

Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame,

I worked my fingers to the bone,

Made myself a name.

Funny, I seem to find that, no matter how the years unwind,

Still I reminisce about the girI miss

And the love I left behind...

My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you,

My eyes adored you

Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see

How I adored you:

So close, so close and yet so far

My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you,

Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see

How I adored you:

So close, so close and yet so far
